Default toda specA on stock ecu?

im pretty much turning my car back to stock specs. i did end up selling my stock cams so is it safe to run toda specA's on my stock ecu. the cams will be set at 0,0. it doesnt make sense to me to buy a set of itr's when the todas are mild anyway. im still using stock type r valvetrain. will i lose hp with this setup? im thinking that i will end up increasing some hp cuz the cams are a lil more aggressive. should i change them back to oem? thanks..

Were you running more aggressive cams on the stock valvetrain before? Or are you re-installing a stock head?

Under normal circumstances, A's will work fine with the stock ecu/redline and stock valvetrain. There is some power to be made with them if the car is tuned.

the head was stock before. i just switched cams . will there be a power increase with no tune with toda a's on a stock ecu? for ex: bone stock type r with "just" toda spec A's..

as far as i've heard you'll be fine.
wish i could find a used set.
if you end up wanting to swap them back for stock. i'd think about tradeing.

they are fine. i've done that before with bolt-ons. toda a's, i/h/e, vafc and stock obd2 ecu = good stuff. tuned is even better, but they won't hurt anything even with stock valvetrain and stock ecu running them.

i'm currently using them in my itr with a 20g turbo and 10-12psi of boost.
